I now remember why I do not try to customize locally all sorts of key bindings to become very familiar with Mixbus32C: at the next major upgrade they'll be wiped. Imagine if I had 20 of these with which I became very familiar and rely upon in the work flow ? So instead I only have two that I re-assign locally: Ctrl-6 and Ctrl-7 to boost/cut the current wave. Both are gone. It's not much to re-instate, so it's quickly done, but imagine 20 such bindings gone and having to 1) remember what their name were 2) re-configure them from scratch.
Why isn't it possible to retain local key bindings ?

I tend to have the same complaint about custom colours. Mixbus's default colour scheme looks much too dark on my monitor so I've created a lighter theme to make things more usable. I haven't tried ver 5 yet but I know from previous new versions that I usually end up seeing weird, garish colours. I then have to delete my custom colours and spend about 2 days setting them up all over again!
A couple of years ago I offered to write some code to fix this but the Ardour devs told me that it's not a bug - it's intentionally designed that way for some reason!
It bugs the hell out of me though
Ho hum...

Hi Yriisem - what happens if the newer version contains new controls (which weren't known about in the previous version)? That's what usually causes the problem from my experience...

I used to have a theme developed by Yriisem in the version 3.x. The wooden one. very, very nice. But that broke with version 4 and as far as I can remember, trying to put it back did not work. If with v5 it's now again possible to use such a theme, it would be great.
